AleSaMflria Gazette.

glesandria Gazfttf-
The GAZETTE is now the oldest paper IN
the State, and with few exceptions the old
est in the country, and its usefulness has
been demonstrated and appreciated during
the EIGHTY. SEVEN YEARS ofits existence. In
tie columns has always been found mirror
of passing events, and the careful chron-
cling of the history ofwhat is going on in the
world has ever been its aim. 1t is always
welcomed 10 the household. while in the
counting room and workshop il has become
invaluable
The GAZETTE mas better facilities for OBJ
tanning news than any paper outside OF the
national capital. Situated as it is so close
to the great centre of news, it enjoys daily
the benefit o@bhe Associated Press dis
patches from every part ofthe world hence
its patrons can read from its columns in the
evening what has transpired that day in
every portion of our own domain as we'll as
from every part of the hoaita0le globe.
Consequently it is an every day occurrence
for the GAZETTE to publish kilograms from
the various European capitals twelve and
fifteen hours earlier than the morning pa
pers.
Another feature that serves to make the
GAZETTE a great desideratum with mer
chants is its afternoon market reports from
New York, Baltimore Chicago and other
centres.
Correspondence from Washington, Rich
mond and every section of theState, is pub.
lished regularly, and all events of interest
occurring within the bounds of the Com
monwealth are to be found in the columns
of the GAZETTE.
The local department furnishes full and
complete history of everything that occurs
in and near the city, and this feature will,
as ever, receive careful attention.
The GAzETTEs circulation is steadily in-
creasing, especially among people who con
suit its advertising columns before purchas-
ing. That this is self-evident may be infer
red from the fact that large country edi
tion-nearly as large as the dally--is sent
all over this section OF country three times
3 week, and is read by thousands, most of
whom send here or to contiguous cities 10
make purchases. The advantages of ed.
vertising in the GAZETTE are, therefore, ap-
parent.

IN BAD SHAPE.

Capt. Anderson, post.oflice inspec-
tor, found the books and accounts
in the Savannah post-olliee con-
fused, and is down there TO straighten
them out. Ono night after he had left the
Office there was sensational scene be-
tween Postmaster G. w. Lamar aud his
assistant. They got into dispute about
the affairs OF the office and the dialogue
was exciting. Finally, Mr.. Lamar sent
out for policeman 20 have Col. Ander-
son elected. When the officer came, Col.
Lamar said: II order you to arrest that
man for disorderly conduct" Il order
you to arrest that man for conduct unbe-
coming gentleman" countermanded
Col. Anderson. Maj. Lamar repeated
his order, and Col Anderson exclaimed
threateningIy to the policeman: Il warn
you that If you lay hands upon me in
this government building, / will hold
you and your superiors responsible" and
the policeman left. So far as can be
learned, the accounts are about $500
short. This may be the result Of bad
bookkeeping.
